It doesn't get much more serious than Star Wars secrecy, but Woody Harrelson doesn't seem to mind. The actor appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday and teased a little bit about his role in the upcoming Han Solo film.

"I play a guy named Beckett who's kind of a criminal and a mentor to Han," Harrelson revealed.

Fallon, who was clearly geeking out about the Millennium Falcon, asked Harrelson if he grew up a Star Wars fan.

"I like it, I was never a fanatic, but you know, it's nice to be part of it," Harrelson replied in his most Woody Harrelson of drawls.

Later in the interview, Harrelson discusses getting arrested in London, as well as his upcoming movie Wilson, which is not Star Wars.
